Tanjong Manis...

Hey readers, its been a while... I was not just busy with work, but also faced a slight relationship dilemma.. No biggy though... In any case, I'm more keen on focusing on work now rather than moping around all day being so unproductive...

Newsflash y'all, I'm at Tanjung Manis... My office arranged a celebration here at Tanjung Manis called HARI TANJUNG MANIS or TANJUNG MANIS DAY (duhh...).. Not much background on it since I'm pretty new here, but probably the main objective is to have the office and PUSAKA itself to be connected with the people living here... Also the day is held in conjuction with the prophet's birthday... well, enough of that...

Most of the times, I think of myself as a miserable person, but apparently a lot of people dont think or believe that I am.. Makes me wonder... The trip to our check point before Tanjung Manis was Serian... We had brunch there and went through the long (almost 5 hours) trip... I kept to myself most of the time, lost in thoughts and holding back puke (haha)...

We arrived at Sarikei around 4 and check into King's Inn.. Small inn, but at least there's a room with proper bed and toilet to stay in.. My roommate complained about a dozen things, but I'm happy with free wireless provided there..

And then at night after going round the small town of Sarikei, we hung out at the waterfront where the peers are (yup, the one with express boats n such, not peers as in friends) and snapped a few dozens of pictures.. The practical students I hung out with were not really big on pictures and photographs, so its actually a bummer.. There were a lot of places to take pictures at, but they settled for a bench... huhu... (doesnt sound like miserable at all.... ??)

The bed was a bed - and I accepted it the was it is and for the purpose it served... no complains, no questions.. It was just for a night... I wont die sleeping on an uncomfortable bed - which by they way, the bed did not turn out.. It wasn't comfy either, but I slept and thats the most important part (either idealist, or realist - but definitely not miserablist.. haha)

The next vehicle (if I can classify it to be a vehicle) was a speedboat.. Definitely nothing to complain about... What could be better? The sun in your eyes, the wind blowing at your face.. good company... snapped some more photos... but there was something still on my mind at that time.. Only the boat ride was soooo thrilling I can easily push it aside...

The house where we stayed at Tajung Manis had no TV, no washing machines, no radio and no no complains.. here and there the rest of them talk about this being missing of that being incomplete or things should or shouldnt be there.. well, it's a house none the less... a good place to stay.. if its not homey, then its up to us who stays in it to make it homey, right? Cant expect other people to do it for you, can you? huhu.. so much for being miserable...

I guess I am no longer that miserable guy i used to be.. Still have things on my mind, but other people are the same, and if they can live a sunny life even if its raining, why cant I? I'll just shine my own way through.. right? being miserable taught me how to find the source of happiness, even in the smallest, simplest thing like putting up banners and wrapping up gifts and presents for contest winners..

a few more busy days and its work as normal.. I look forward to it.. hahaha.. so much for being miserable... Tanjung Manis brought me a sweet realization along with a sweet escape....
